Hello, :D

I found some topics involving horses from previous forums which might interest you:
Does the length of a horse's leg determine how high it can jump?
The pressure of a horse's hoof on a given area and how dispersal of weight reduces joint stain?
If a horse knows they are getting rewarded will that effect the way they train. Will they listen and preform better, then a horse that doesn't get a treat?
This next one is a science buddies topic.It includes the overview of the project and lists procedures and materials.https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p026.shtml

Do you have contact with horses?Find something that intrigues you about horses and run with it.
Example:Colic is a large problem horses have and often get so you would find more efficient ways to adress the problem or find or create better prevention methods.Or maybe hoof care.Which product work best on horse hooves?How does this help them?Just some suggestions.Explore something about horses that interests you

Hope that helps!

Hi painthorsegirl,

It is difficult to do an experiment with model horses, since they can't exactly respond to things. :wink:

That said, you could experiment with people's reactions to your models. Perhaps people prefer particular colors of horses, or like the models that are in a certain position better than others. Would this be of interest to you? If so, I can help you design your experiment...
